Work Remotely

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Travel is so easy to put off. There will always be bills to pay, a job to do and problems cropping up, so why not work remotely? If you really want to travel, go for it now! There is no time like the present. If you want to know how to prepare for your gap year or nomadic lifestyle click here.

Once you have decided to take the plunge and travel the world, it is surprisingly easy to live a nomadic lifestyle. Remote working is more accessible than ever before. Here are my top 5 ways of working remotely or creating a residual income.

1. Freelancing

You can freelance and offer your skills online by registering on People Per Hour. Ideas for freelance work include…

Design Work

Article Writing

Social Media Marketing

Website Design

Music and Video editing

2. Teaching

Many teachers teach their way around the world. If you are a qualified teacher with a subject specialism, you can teach in international schools. Even if you are not qualified, as a native English speaker, you can get work teaching English as a foreign language quite easily in countries such as China. A great place to start searching for international teaching positions is the TES Website.

If you want to work remotely, you can set up your own advertisement on Gumtree, or create a website and offer tuition via Skype.

3. Network Marketing

By registering with a network marketing company, you will essential receive a ‘business in a box’. Advantages of network marketing include the fact that products are developed for you and websites are often free with registration. Network marketing has massive earning potential through growing and training a team. Most network marketing businesses can usually be run online.

When choosing you network marketing company, make sure that the company that you register with is around 30-40 years old (old enough to not be risky but young enough with room for expansion). Also make sure that your business has a consumable product (e.g. food or cosmetics) that is saleable. If you are network marketing in order to travel, the company needs to deal with the shipping to your customers – avoid companies that would expect you to do the postage and packing yourself.

If you would like to make money from your travel blog, I highly recommend that you register with Travel Blog Success.

5. Become a Landlord

If you own your own property, renting out your property in order to travel is a great idea for making a residual income. If you have a deposit of 20-40% you can also put that down on a Buy to Let Mortgage.

There are certain responsibilities of a landlord, including being contactable in the UK, so if you are travelling internationally you should get your property managed by a good property management company.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
